Eat Pray Love Part 5.

And now back to my reading on Eat, Pray, Love . I’m still at the part where Liz is in India. She has now learnt to control her emotions and improved her meditation techniques. It’s pretty interesting because I learnt something from her writing too. She got me interested in exploring meditation. At this point in the story, Liz has decided that she will not tour the rest of India but continue to stay at the Ashram. More interesting things have happened there and she has made some good friends there too. An ashram sounds like an interesting place to visit. I’m not sure I can put up with the conditions there though… I wonder if there is a health resort that caters to just yoga, meditation and healthy living….to be continued in the next review.


SEM3 Memory: Back to the Italian Words

This week I will attempt to memorize another 25 basic Italian words from Master Your Memory Using the self enhanced memory matrix technique aka SEM3. This will add up to a total of 75 Italian words at you cannot do without. That’s according to page 137 of Master Your Memory.

Recalling the words have been ok with a few memory blocks here and there. But overall I’m doing better than memorizing prefixes and suffixes from the last time.

Yoga and Pilates: The Lotus Pose aka Padmasana.

Sitting in lotus pose felt a bit weird at first but it took some getting used to. According to the yoga books, the yoga pose is good for managing stress improving concentration. People sit in lotus pose when they want to go into meditation. I tried it and I felt I could breathe better. Besides this, I’m still practicing the vajrasana pose. Last night after a meal that made me feel uncomfortable, I sat in vajrasana for about 10 minutes. It helped me burp and made me feel better too. I’m no longer a skeptic but a believer of this pose. Try it if you’re feeling uncomfortable after a meal.


Knitting Blog: Oops no progress.

I didn’t knit today. I took a nap during my lunch hour because I was so tired. Nothing beats a 10 minute power nap. I’ll try to knit tomorrow during lunch.
